When a superannuated actress is invited into a small town production of Shakespeare you can expect all kinds of problems and stress but murder doesn't immediately spring to mind (except in the deepest darkest parts of the other performers' and director's minds). Violet La Rue is such a false name you know it was adopted for the stage but working with a very experienced actress is a great draw for any aspiring thespian and we're hoping lots of people will come to our performance.
Unfortunately one actor is poisoned, the police are involved, Lindsey Norris and her fellow librarians become more than interested.
It's nicely complicated and a satisfying read.

This is a fun series and in this volume we're trying to put on Midsummer Night's Dream as a community theatre production with one real actress dropped in. These things never go well and we have a murder, of course.
